3
Replace the bezel. (See “Replacing the bezel” on page 28.)
4
Close the case. (See “Closing the case” on page 27 for instructions.)

Reconnect the power cord, modem cord, and all other external peripheral
devices, then turn on the system.
To add an additional processor:
1
Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
2
Observe all safety and static electricity precautions. (See “Preventing static
electricity discharge” on page 22.)
3
Remove the bezel. (See “Removing the bezel” on page 25.)

with the processor or it will not cool correctly, resulting in
processor failure.
